Amin Taher: "I did not say that I was forbidden to host them. It is the Muslim Brotherhood members who are not allowed to appear on TV. It is not that I personally am not allowed to host them. No show on Egyptian TV would host them, because the Egyptian TV considers them to be an illegal organization. I have a problem with the Muslim Brotherhood and Kifaya because they are illegal organizations." [...]
